TRENDnet TW-H6W1IR manual A Warning on Connection Cables, Setting up the Console

TW-H6W1IR ISDN Remote Router

For the initial configuration of your TW-H6W1IR, you must use an RS-232 console connection, either to a computer running serial communications software or to a serial data terminal.

After the router has been successfully installed and the initial configuration is complete, you can continue to modify settings through the console, or you can change configuration settings through a remote Telnet connection or through a web browser. See the chapters entitled Configuration and Management and Using Telnet for detailed instructions on using Telnet to configure your TW-H6W1IR.

A console can be a terminal, such as a VT-100, or a normal PC running terminal emulation software (such as Microsoft HyperTerminal, included with Windows). The terminal emulation software needs to be configured to the following parameters:
